• Calmes: Hapless House Republicans weaponized impeachment. It backfired

Many Republicans blame Biden for taking actions to stop construction of the border wall and end the COVID-19 era restrictions that prevented many migrants from entering the U.S. Both policies had been championed by former President Trump, who is now the front-runner for the party’s 2024 presidential nomination. The Biden administration said the Democratic-led Senate made the right call and dismissed Republican efforts to attack Mayorkas unfounded. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters he was "deeply disappointed" that the Senate dismissed the charges, saying "there should have been a full trial." The Secret Service has since turned over a large number of records and documents to the committee investigating the Capitol insurrection, but only one text message between agents on the day before the attack and as a mob of rioters breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6. The missing texts are also at the center of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, of which Thompson is the chairman.

Following the hearing, members of the Committee, who were designated as impeachment managers, delivered two articles of impeachment against Secretary Mayorkas from the House of Representatives to the Senate. –– This week, the House Committee on Homeland Security, led by Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN), held a hearing to examine the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) woefully inadequate Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 budget request. The Committee received testimony from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who made his first appearance before the Committee following his historic impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors in February. Not since 1876 has a Cabinet secretary faced impeachment charges and it’s the first time a sitting secretary is being impeached — 148 years ago, Secretary of War William Belknap resigned just before the vote.

Committee On Homeland Security

Impeachment rules generally allow the Senate majority to decide how to manage the trial, and Schumer has not said exactly what he will do. House Speaker Mike Johnson will send articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate after Congress returns. (1) The Committee on Homeland Security shall review all Government activities relating to homeland security, including interaction of all departments and agencies with the Department of Homeland Security.

The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman

The impeachment charges against Mayorkas come as border security is fast becoming a top political issue in the 2024 election, a particularly potent line of attack being leveled at President Joe Biden by Republicans, led by the party’s front-runner for the presidential nomination, Donald Trump. The House sent two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday, forcing a trial on allegations that he has “willfully and systematically” refused to enforce immigration laws. Lankford was briefing House and Senate GOP lawmakers privately Wednesday on the border talks, which hit a setback this week.

The panel swiftly held a pair of hearings in January before announcing the two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat who is facing a tough reelection bid in Ohio, called the impeachment trial a “distraction,” arguing that Republicans should instead support a bipartisan border compromise they scuttled earlier this year. At a news conference with a group of Republican senators after the articles were delivered, the impeachment managers demanded that Schumer move forward with their case.

Another day, another violent criminal in the U.S. because of the Biden Admin's open border.

Hearing on Impeachment Resolution Against Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, Part 2

With Democrats united against the charges, the Republicans needed almost every vote from their slim majority to approve the articles of impeachment. But impeaching a Cabinet secretary is rare, having only happened once before in the nation’s history when the House impeached Defense Secretary William Belknap in 1876 over receiving kickbacks in government contracts. Going after an official for a policy dispute, in this instance over the claim that Mayorkas is not upholding immigration laws, is unprecedented.

Hearings & Events

The committee was made permanent when it was elevated to standing status by a vote of the House of Representatives on January 4, 2005, on the opening day of the 109th Congress, again with Rep. Chris Cox as its first permanent chairman. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi was the committee's first permanent ranking member. After Chairman Cox resigned from Congress in July 2005 to become the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Rep. Peter King of New York served as chairman for the remainder of the 109th Congress. This is an unprecedented failure by the Senate to do its duty, which, for the first time in our history, has outright refused to conduct an impeachment trial when given the opportunity to do so. In light of this, Chairman Arrington and Representative Bergman’s letter to GAO asked if the Biden Administration violated the law by blocking the use of funds intended to continue the construction of border barriers.

Hearings

Additionally, the committee has authorization and policy oversight responsibilities over the Department of Homeland Security. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and their fellow Republican impeachment managers walk back through the U.S. Capitol Rotunda after transmitting articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on Tuesday. Tuesday’s vote arrived at a politically odd juncture for Mayorkas, who has been negotiating a bipartisan border security package in the Senate, earning high marks from a group of senators involved. At a trial, senators would be forced to sit in their seats for the duration while the House impeachment managers and lawyers representing Mayorkas make their cases. The Senate is allowed to call witnesses, as well, if it so decides, and it can ask questions of both sides after the opening arguments are finished.

But ultimately they cannot block a dismissal if majority Democrats have the votes. South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican, has said the Senate needs to hold a full trial at which it can examine the evidence against Mayorkas and come to a conclusion. The House has voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas over the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. (2) In addition, the Committee shall review and study on a primary and continuing basis all Government activities, programs, and organizations related to homeland security that fall within its primary legislative jurisdiction.

The erasure of the messages has raised the prospect of lost evidence that could shed further light on then-President Trump’s actions during the insurrection, particularly after testimony about his confrontation with security as he tried to join supporters at the Capitol. There are now two congressional probes into the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security’s handling of those communications. Greene, who was named to be one of the impeachment managers if there is a Senate trial, rose to blame Mayorkas for the “invasion” of migrants coming to the U.S. The outcome was another dismal result for the House Republicans who have repeatedly been unable to use their majority power to accomplish political goals, or even to keep up with the basics of governing. In any case, Republicans would not be able to win the support of the two-thirds of the Senate that is needed to convict and remove Mayorkas from office. Democrats control the Senate, 51 to 49, and they appear to be united against the impeachment effort.

Since then, Johnson has delayed sending the articles to the Senate for weeks while both chambers finished work on government funding legislation and took a two-week recess. Johnson had said he would send them to the Senate last week, but he delayed again after Senate Republicans said they wanted more time to prepare. Majority Democrats have said the GOP case against Mayorkas doesn’t rise to the “high crimes and misdemeanors” laid out as a bar for impeachment in the Constitution, and Schumer probably has enough votes to end the trial immediately if he decides to do so. The House Homeland Security Committee chairman, Mark Green, a Tennessee Republican who is one of the impeachment managers, read the articles aloud as most senators sat in their seats, following along with their own paper copies. Chairman Mark Green’s commitment to defending the homeland began long before his swearing-in to Congress, as he served our nation as a decorated U.S. Thompson said evidence throughout the hearings will show that Mayorkas is, in fact, doing his job.

"Today's decision by the Senate to reject House Republicans' baseless attacks on Secretary Mayorkas proves definitively that there was no evidence or Constitutional grounds to justify impeachment," said Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg. He said Mayorkas was "probably the least effective and I think most dangerous, in terms of his policy implementations, of any cabinet secretary in the history of the United States." Johnson predicted there would be a "reckoning" over the border issue in the November election. In response, House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney and Homeland Security Chair Bennie Thompson sent a letter Tuesday demanding Cuffari turn over documents and make his staff available to lawmakers or risk facing a potential congressional subpoena.

The House panel has been circling Mayorkas all year, at times expected to lurch ahead with impeachment proceedings against him as the border crossings hit record highs, topping 10,000 on some days. Republicans in both chambers are eager to put the issue of border security front and center during this election year. President Biden's handling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border remains a weak spot politically for him, according to recent public opinion polls. The U.S. Senate has rejected both articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, swiftly ending the trial triggered by the House's narrow vote to impeach in February. An official Senate photograph shows senators taking the oath at the start of the impeachment trial on Wednesday. The Committee on Homeland Security under Chairman Green had been investigating the secretary for much of the past year, including probing the flow of deadly fentanyl into the U.S.

Unlike other moments in impeachment history, the afternoon’s debate played out to an almost empty chamber, without the fervor or solemnity of past proceedings. The impeachment of Mayorkas landed quickly onto the House agenda after Republican efforts to impeach Biden over the business dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, hit a lull, and the investigation into the Biden family dragged. Record numbers of people have been arriving at the southern border, many fleeing countries around the world, in what Mayorkas calls an era of global migration. Many migrants are claiming asylum and being conditionally released into the U.S., arriving in cities that are underequipped to provide housing and other aid while they await judicial proceedings which can take years to determine whether they may remain. WASHINGTON (AP) — In a dramatic setback, House Republicans failed to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, forced to shelve a high-profile priority — for now — after a few GOP lawmakers refused to go along with the party’s plan.

Office of the Executive Secretary

In a press conference after the trial, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he felt "very strongly that we had to set a precedent that impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements." "By doing what we just did, we have in effect, ignored the directions of the House, which were to have a trial," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after senators killed the second article. They gave his office until Aug. 23 to provide “all responsive documents” and make personnel available for interviews before lawmakers issue a congressional subpoena.

While the Senate is obligated to hold a trial under the rules of impeachment once the charges are walked across the Capitol, the proceedings may not last long. Democrats are expected to try to dismiss or table the charges later this week before the full arguments get underway. The second select committee was formed in 2003 at the beginning of the 108th Congress as a select committee with Rep. Christopher Cox of California as its chairman and Jim Turner of Texas as its ranking member. The creation of the committee was necessitated by the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. As an executive branch department, the newly formed Department of Homeland Security required congressional counterparts to facilitate legislative action and oversight.

Information about the source, type, amount, or value of the incomes of representatives, officers, and candidates. If the House agrees to impeach Mayorkas, the case would go to trial in the Senate, where it takes a supermajority to convict. As the House proceeds with its various impeachment inquiries, not all Republicans have been eager for the undertakings. Sen. James Lankford, the chief GOP negotiator of the border package, who has been in almost daily negotiations involving Mayorkas, said he understands his colleagues’ frustrations. "If we allowed that to happen, it would set a disastrous precedent for Congress," he said.

Majority Leader

As Congress switched parties at the beginning of the 110th Congress, Rep. Thompson became the chairman of the committee and Rep. King the ranking member. House control switched parties again at the beginning of the 112th Congress in 2011, and King again became the chairman, and Thompson the ranking member. As the House switched parties at the beginning of the 116th Congress, Thompson again assumed the chair. The committee continues to operate in a bipartisan manner, passing almost all of its legislation out of the committee unanimously.

When the Secretary attempted to shift the blame to Congress, members reiterated that the Senate has not taken up or passed House Republicans’ H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act, which is the strongest border security legislation passed by Congress in history. If Democrats are unable to dismiss or table the articles, they could follow the precedent of several impeachment trials for federal judges over the last century and hold a vote to create a trial committee that would investigate the charges. While there is sufficient precedent for this approach, Democrats may prefer to end the process completely, especially in a presidential election year when immigration and border security are top issues. The House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. House Republicans charged in two articles of impeachment that Mayorkas has not only refused to enforce existing law but also breached the public trust by lying to Congress and saying the border was secure.

The U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives. Its responsibilities include U.S. security legislation and oversight of the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats said the hearing was designed by Republicans to score political points instead of improving the immigration system. “Impeachment will not make our borders any safer,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.). Johnson also spoke Wednesday with Biden and “strongly encouraged” the president to use his executive authority to secure the southern border, said the speaker’s spokesman, Raj Shah.

Information about all receipts and expenditures of representatives, committees, leadership, and officers of the House. That’s a question we’ll have to get answered,” said Sen. John Thune, the second-ranking GOP leader in the Senate. During Wednesday’s session, Republicans hammered away at Mayorkas’ performance, saying he’d failed to do his job detaining migrants who didn’t have the right to be in the country and allowed others to remain as they await proceedings. But any goodwill for Mayorkas has not spread to the House, where Republicans are readying their effort to remove him from office. The Homeland Security Committee plans to hold hearings throughout January with the end goal of impeaching Mayorkas.

While the GAO report may show that the Biden Administration has not explicitly broken the law, it does show that DHS and the White House are circumventing the law to shirk executive responsibility and accountability. As per DHS, these massive reductions in illegal immigration are due solely to the construction of physical barriers. The barriers force migrants to go to ports of entry where they can be processed by Customs and Border Protection agents, avoid dangerous cartels, and have the potential to enter the U.S. legally.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said last week he wasn’t sure what he would do if there were a move to dismiss the trial. “I think it’s virtually certain that there will not be the conviction of someone when the constitutional test has not been met,” he said. After the jurors are sworn in, Senate Republicans are likely to try to raise a series of objections if Schumer calls a vote to dismiss or table.

The lack of enforcement and operation control at our southwest border under the Biden Administration is simply a dereliction of duty. The fact of the matter is that American taxpayer dollars to secure the border are going unspent or wasted on frivolous environmental planning and remediation. “The evidence documented throughout this report will demonstrate that Mayorkas has been, and continues to be, derelict in the solemn duty to secure the nation’s borders,” the panel’s initial report said. Marching ahead with multiple impeachment plans, House Republicans set their sights Wednesday on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom they intend to prove is “derelict in his duty” over handling the surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Deeply reported insights into legislation, politics and policy from Sacramento, Washington and beyond. House Republicans have released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. After Tuesday’s ceremonial procession and presentation of the articles, the proceedings will not begin until Wednesday. Senators will be sworn in as jurors, turning the chamber into the court of impeachment. The Senate will then issue a summons to Mayorkas to inform him of the charges and ask for a written answer.

• Single-Subject Experimental Design: An Overview

The fact that no change in responding was observed in the control condition, however, is evidence that the changes were due to the intervention rather than a result of some factor outside of the study. As further demonstration of the experimental effect of directed rehearsal plus reinforcement, a final condition was implemented in which the treatment package was used to teach the phrases from the other two conditions. This condition further strengthened the evidence for the effectiveness of the intervention, as performance on all three words sets reached 100% by the end of the phase.

XII. Chapter 12: Descriptive Statistics

For example, there are ceiling effects for PND, making comparisons across or between interventions difficult (Parker & Hagan-Burke, 2007; Parker et al., 2007), and PND is based on a single data point, making it sensitive to outliers (Riley-Tillman & Burns, 2009). In addition, there is no known sampling distribution, making it impossible to derive a confidence interval (CI). CIs are important because they help create an interpretive context for the dependability of the effect by providing upper and lower bounds for the estimate. The goal of this tutorial is to familiarize readers with the logic of SSEDs and how they can be used to establish evidence-based practice.

Types of Observation in a Research Study→

Most empirical research relies on using the scientific method to conduct large studies that use many participants in a control group and an experimental group. The purpose is to determine the effect of some experimental factor by introducing it to the experimental group, but not to the control group, and seeing what, if any, effect the experimental factor has. However, in some cases researchers will use an alternative method called single-subject research design. The AATD eliminates some of the concerns regarding multiple-treatment interference because different behaviors are exposed to different conditions. As in the multiple-baseline/multiple-probe designs, the possibility of generalization across behaviors must be considered, and steps should be taken to ensure the independence of the behaviors selected.

Educational Research Basics by Del Siegle

The greater the percentage of non-overlapping data, the stronger the treatment effect. In a multiple-treatment reversal design, a baseline phase is followed by separate phases in which different treatments are introduced. The mean and standard deviation of each participant’s responses under each condition are computed and compared, and inferential statistical tests such as the t test or analysis of variance are applied (Fisch, 2001)[3]. (Note that averaging across participants is less common.) Another approach is to compute the percentage of non-overlapping data (PND) for each participant (Scruggs & Mastropieri, 2001)[4]. In a multiple-treatment reversal design, a baseline phase is followed by separate phases in which different treatments are introduced.

IX. Chapter 9: Factorial Designs

This might include applying the intervention to participants with more heterogeneous characteristics, conducting the intervention in a different setting with different dependent variables, and so forth. The variation inherent to systematic replication allows the researcher, educator, or clinician to determine the extent to which the findings will generalize across different types of participants, settings, or target behaviors. As noted by Johnston and Pennypacker (2009), conducting direct replications of an effect tells us about the certainty of our knowledge, whereas conducting systematic replications can expand the extent of our knowledge. Why is the reversal—the removal of the treatment—considered to be necessary in this type of design? Notice that an AB design is essentially an interrupted time-series design applied to an individual participant.

The authors discuss the requirements of each design, followed by advantages and disadvantages. The logic and methods for evaluating effects in SSED are reviewed as well as contemporary issues regarding data analysis with SSED data sets. Specific exemplars of how SSEDs have been used in speech-language pathology research are provided throughout.

Applied researchers, in particular, are interested in treatments that have substantial effects on important behaviors and that can be implemented reliably in the real-world contexts in which they occur. The study by Hall and his colleagues, for example, had good social validity because it showed strong and consistent effects of positive teacher attention on a behavior that is of obvious importance to teachers, parents, and students. Furthermore, the teachers found the treatment easy to implement, even in their often-chaotic elementary school classrooms. Furthermore, the teachers found the treatment easy to implement, even in their often chaotic elementary school classrooms.

This was one of the first studies to show that attending to positive behavior—and ignoring negative behavior—could be a quick and effective way to deal with problem behavior in an applied setting. To meet the criterion of having at least three attempts to demonstrate an effect, studies using an ATD must include a direct comparison of three interventions, or two interventions compared with a baseline. To be considered as support for an evidence-based practice, this design would need to have incorporated a third intervention condition or to have begun with a baseline condition. In one version of the design, a baseline is established for each of several participants, and the treatment is then introduced for each one. The key to this design is that the treatment is introduced at a different time for each participant. The idea is that if the dependent variable changes when the treatment is introduced for one participant, it might be a coincidence.

Percent of intervals with challenging behavior and mands during functional analysis, intervention demonstration, and component analysis. From “A component analysis of functional communication training across three topographies of severe behavior problems,” by Wacker et al., 1990, Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 23, p. 424. Visual inspection of the data suggests an effective treatment in the top panel but an ineffective treatment in the bottom panel. A subfield of psychology (behaviorism) that focuses exclusively on the effects of rewards, punishments, and other external factors on behavior. Figure 10.4 Results of a Generic Single-Subject Study Illustrating Level, Trend, and Latency. The description provides no way of knowing whether Anna had really repressed the memory of the dog drinking from the glass, whether this repression had caused her inability to drink, or whether recalling this “trauma” relieved the symptom.

When such changes are large and immediate, visual inspection is relatively straightforward, as in all three graphs in Figure 1. If only the average performance during each phase is considered, each of these graphs includes a between-phase change in level. On closer inspection, however, each presents a problem that threatens the internal validity of the experiment and the ability of the clinical researcher to make a warranted causal inference about the relation between treatment (the independent variable) and effect (the dependent variable). During the baseline phase, performance in the dependent measure is highly variable, with a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 100%.

Here, using large language models (LLMs) trained on biological diversity at scale, we demonstrate the first successful precision editing of the human genome with a programmable gene editor designed with AI. To achieve this goal, we curated a dataset of over one million CRISPR operons through systematic mining of 26 terabases of assembled genomes and meta-genomes. We demonstrate the capacity of our models by generating 4.8x the number of protein clusters across CRISPR-Cas families found in nature and tailoring single-guide RNA sequences for Cas9-like effector proteins. Several of the generated gene editors show comparable or improved activity and specificity relative to SpCas9, the prototypical gene editing effector, while being 400 mutations away in sequence.

Single-subject research, however, would likely reveal these individual differences. A second reason to focus intensively on individuals is that sometimes it is the behavior of a particular individual that is primarily of interest. A school psychologist, for example, might be interested in changing the behavior of a particular disruptive student.

These sophisticated exteriors often feature experimental exterior coverings that create new state-of-the-art architecture. This imaginative approach to homebuilding is highlighted with new home ideas cohesively blending with timeless design efforts and materials in a beautiful pattern. Exterior highlights may include a series of boxy spaces, some mixed siding that is usually sleek featuring clean lines, and contemporary wood/timber exteriors that can also be a stylish exterior choice.

Features of Modern House Designs

While aesthetically appealing and durable, materials like steel, glass, and concrete are often more expensive than traditional building materials like wood or brick but check locally. Harper says that Moen noticed the popularity of matte black and even released a full collection called Greenfield where the hue is an option so homeowners can coordinate every fixture. “In recent years, we have seen a surge in the popularity of matte black finishes due to its versatility and ability to blend well with a variety of interior design styles,” she says.

What to Look for in Contemporary House Designs

Of course, creating a Modern home isn’t just about following trends; it’s about designing a space that reflects your personality and fits your lifestyle.

There is some overlap with contemporary house plans with our modern house plan collection featuring those plans that push the envelope in a visually forward-thinking way. Modern refers to a consistent approach to design, whereas contemporary homes include the latest design trends. That being said, it’s common to see a modern home design with contemporary elements and functionality. In 2009 Lindal Cedar Homes expanded its design range with a new line of modern home designs.

In addition to the many classic and historical designs, California also includes many contemporary homes. These houses can vary noticeably in appearance, though many focus on simple exteriors incorporating a wide range of building materials. Available in both one-story and two-story layouts, these homes bring modern design elements into play by increasing the flow between rooms and incorporating numerous windows.

What People Say

This elegant modern home packs more into its 2,500 square feet than you’d expect. The butterfly roof, with its opposite-sloped pitches, adds light, loft, and a mid-century-modern vibe. The view side of the home features glass doors opening to the outside on both floors and a row of clerestory windows on the main floor for additional light penetration. California offers the perfect climate and location for relaxed living and homes that blur the lines between indoors and out. The West Coast aesthetic is eclectic and often filled with bohemian touches, natural elements, exquisite vintage and antique furnishings, and plenty of bold art. Take a peek at the homes of some of the Golden State’s most stylish residents—tech moguls and Hollywood power players alike.

In the age of remote work, the home office has become a vital part of Modern homes. Modern design principles create spaces that foster productivity and inspiration, with ergonomic furniture, sufficient lighting, and a design that minimizes distractions. Just as there is a solid foundation for modern design for homes, there are several fundamental areas to address whenever considering Modern home design ideas in your house. From in-depth articles about your favorite styles and trends to additional plans that you may be interested in.

Much like those low-waisted jeans you may still have tucked away in a bin in your attic, home trends have a way of coming back into style. Luckily, the vintage trends we see in the bathroom space are much more flattering. McGee noted that she’s been loving all of the vintage elements coming back into popularity, including in her collection with Kohler, proving that these elements have staying power and will continue to be beloved. With an increased focus on self-care, modern bathrooms are far from an afterthought—they’re a place where homeowners can go to unwind, take off (or start) their day and show off their personal home design taste. That last point has become increasingly evident in the last year or so, as more homeowners want to make their homes feel uniquely theirs in every room. Technological innovations will also play a significant role in shaping the future.

They reflect a desire to break traditional norms and embrace a more minimalist, sustainable, and efficient way of living. These homes are visually striking and designed to accommodate the needs and lifestyle of a 21st-century family. The images and floor plans in our home design books are a great way to get ideas and start planning your new custom dream home. Best of all, we can modify any Lindal house plan to suit your build site and lifestyle.

The inclined butterfly roof provides shade and shelter, channels out unwanted hot air and collects its own rainwater. The roof’s slope enhances the modern aesthetic of this architect-designed home. This stunning luxury home by Turkel Design for Lindal celebrates the marriage of form and function in contemporary home designs. – Significant exterior changes with additional building massing design, different siding layout, materials and colors. Most concrete block (CMU) homes have 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 exterior walls on the 2nd story.

One of the more important natural features of contemporary homes is the use of natural light, whether by large windows in uncommon positions, panoramic window walls, or ample skylights. In addition, modern homes often incorporate advanced technology, such as smart home systems, and sustainable features, like solar panels or energy-efficient appliances. While these features offer long-term savings in energy costs, they can significantly increase the upfront building costs. While following the latest trends can be fun, lately designers have been seeing a shift towards homeowners going off the beaten bath and creating spaces that are uniquely their style. Whether you’re looking to bring the California style to another region or looking to move to San Francisco and build a home, we have a plan for you.

Cities across the U.S. are easing restrictions on accessory dwelling units (ADUs), allowing homeowners to construct backyard cottages. Lindal’s prefab building system is ideally suited to these efficient units, which can start at under 500 square feet. These cute side-by-side studios in Berkshire, Mass., were built as writer’s retreats. Our Lindal Modern Homes are system-built beauties, complete with our signature walls of glass and sleek lines, and backed by our industry-exclusive Lifetime Structural Warranty.

The post-and-beam structure allows for open floor plans, high ceilings, and walls of glass with panoramic views. Take a look at these five contemporary homes, each with its own unique style.

Lindal homes have been profiled in publications including Dwell magazine, Inhabitat, Seattle Times, Forbes, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. Working with your independent Lindal representative ensures that you receive personal, hands-on attention through every stage of the process, from design through completion of your contemporary house. A modern house plan is different because modern refers to a specific time period and style that includes a lot of open space, geometric lines, and a simple design approach. Modern contemporary house plans are available in this collection, but not all of the plans you’ll find here feature the modern architectural style.

For instance, modern house plans often feature large expanses of custom-made glass, high-end finishes, and unique construction methods, which can increase costs. Specialty or luxury materials such as steel, concrete, or imported wood can also raise prices. From Art Deco to the iconic Brady Bunch home, Modern house plans have been on the American home scene for decades and will continue offering alternative expressions for today's homeowners. Modern house plans cover many ideas, concepts, and principles available in the home design industry. Many home designs in this category feature a look and feel that expresses a value for energy efficiency, unique use of space, and exterior and interior features of a modern persuasion.

For a quintessential Costa Rica souvenir, bring home a couple bags of Costa Rican coffee. To make sure it’s of the highest quality, look for coffee from boutique roasters like Dota or Café Britt. You’ll find shopping in Puerto Limon cruise port not far from the pier. For a variety of shops in one area, head to Plaza Puerto Limon, a shopping mall in the downtown area of the city. The rainforest is one of the biggest draws of a cruise to Puerto Limon, and you have many options for how to explore it while in port. Take a river cruise with a naturalist who can explain the environment you’re seeing in depth.

Things to Do in Limon Costa Rica

Puerto Limon-Moin port (locode CRLIO) has two cargo terminals (named "Moín" and "Limon"), which handle Costa Rica's shipping exports and imports (bulk and containership cargoes), as well as docking of cruise vessels. Port Puerto Limon cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link. Limon is home to several outdoor attractions, including nature thrills like river rafting and zip-lining. If you're a nature fan looking for a more contemplative outing, then head to the Tortuguero Canal, where you can paddle among water lilies, orchids and sea turtles.

You can find lots of nice places to stay there, such as Wildlife Lodge Cahuita, Bungalows Aché Cahuita, and Passion Fruit Lodge. Room rates at Hotel Playa Westfalia began at $74 USD per night. For budget travelers, Casa Caribe is a top choice if you don’t mind staying in a self-check-in apartment. Maestros Wine & Grill – It has a cozy feel to it and offers a wide selection of wine and food. This upscale restaurant is open every day from 11 am to 10 pm on Monday and Tuesday, 10 am to 10 pm on Wednesday, 10 am to 11 pm on Thursday and Friday, 10 am to 11 pm on Saturday, and 9 am to 10 pm on Sunday.

Top Things to Do in Puerto Limón

Pick up souvenirs at the stalls set up by the water, sip on a fresh coconut, stroll by the shore as you take in the palm-fringed coast. Thankfully, on Discover Cars it’s easy to tell apart the companies that include the mandatory insurance and those that don’t. In the picture below, you can see this rental car, with pick up in Jaco, includes the TPL.

From here you get to explore its wonderful capital city San Jose, visit the beautiful coffee plantations and enjoy its immens and diverse ecological wonders in the rain forest. Create the opportunity to get an encounter with the landscape and nature, because at this point Costa Rica is het “greenest” country in the world. Puerto Limon is a popular cruise ship port on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, Central America.

The island doesn’t have much in terms of tourist facilities, but you might even see some local surfers catching the waves. Isla Uvita also has a place in history since it is where Christopher Columbus landed on his last journey across the Atlantic to the Americas. Costa Rica is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Central America, and Puerto Limon is the most important Costa Rican port in the Caribbean.

One thing we have noticed though is that usually when it rains, it at least often rains at night. This area can be somewhat unsafe at night so please don’t walk around alone. It is best to drive or use a registered taxi while in downtown Limon. The ride will take you about two and a half hours and will cost about $12 per person for one way.

If there was ever a country created for eco-tourism, it is Costa Rica. Effectively a biological corridor between North and South America and with its neo-tropical climate and rainforests acting as a sort of biosphere, it now has one of the greatest biological diversities in the world. Doesn't that sound like a great port to include on your next cruise itinerary to Costa Rica. Nearly a quarter of its landmass is designated as national parks and it houses 8,000 species of plants, 859 species of birds, 10% of the world's butterflies and as many snakes as you could shake a stick at. Like any port in the Caribbean you will find that the Puerto Limon cruise port is filled with souvenir shops in abundance.

Limón offers a large central market that includes several different vendors, both food and other goods. This is a great choice for a few hours tour that includes pick up and drop off at Port Limón. Personally, it is one of my absolute favorite things to do in Limon. Check out this tour for an all-day whitewater rafting adventure priced at $132 USD. You will travel over 18 miles of river, and transportation from Limón is included in the package. This tour will provide transportation both ways to and from Port Limón.

Cahuita National Park is located about an hour from the city of Limón. We like this tour a lot because you can see a ton of wildlife in a short amount of time and the park is just amazing. If you’re planning to walk to the city center, it’s only about 250 yards from the cruise terminal. A helpful map of the city is located right before you leave the port and has recommended walks on it as well. The Tortuguero Canals, which were turned into a national park in 1975, were named after the local green turtle (called Tortuguero) which uses the canals to spawn.

The cruise terminal has a welcome center and souvenir market. Until 2018, as a cruise shore excursion option from Puerto Limon were offered guided bus tours to the capital city of San Jose (road distance is ~160 km / 100 mi). However, due to the bad roads, traffic and mountains, it takes minimum 4 hours to drive (each way) between Puerto Limon and San Jose. This requires the ships to stay in Puerto Limon much longer than usual (~12 hours), so San Jose is usually visited from Puntarenas.

If you’re sailing with Cunard, MSC Cruises, or Princess Cruises out of New York, your cruise will be departing from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Each of these cruise lines offer exciting itineraries across the globe, ranging from Caribbean destinations in the Bahamas, to uniquely curated fall foliage experiences on Canada/New England sailings.

Since 2006, Brooklyn, New York has been home to a revitalized, state-of-the-art cruise terminal. The docking area is quite large with over 200,000 square feet of flexible space. It also includes ample parking for personal vehicles with extra room for larger vessels like buses. The port exits right into the Red Hook district which is one of the borough’s hottest and trendiest spots. A large selection of artisan stores and unique restaurants are there to welcome visitors into the artistic community.

In 2014, the total number of handled intermodal TEUs was 391,596. Petroleum and scrap metals are handled at bulk cargo terminals, many of which are located along the port's straits and canals. US Army Corps of Engineers are involved in regular harbor maintenance works (bulkhead and channels). USCG (Coast Guard) maintains all floatable debris and marine accidents and incidents (spills, rescues, counter-terrorism operations).

It's designed to preserve wildlife while also providing fun for passengers. Remove the hassle from air travel and give yourself the gift of flexibility, time and a thicker wallet with Princess EZair flights. We negotiate lower rates with the airlines, allow you to modify your flight up to 45 days prior with no penalty and protect you if your flight is late or canceled.

During summer are operated mainly roundtrips to Bermuda as well as Transatlantic crossings (USA-UK/Southampton). In autumn are offered "Fall Foliage" cruises to Canada and New England USA. Cape Liberty Cruise Port is also in New York Harbor but is part of Bayonne City (New Jersey). Norwegian Prima is one of the best cruises for solo travelers departing from New York City. Cruises from New York sail to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, the United Kingdom, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and beyond. Additionally, there are accessible bathrooms for passengers with mobility impairments, as well as amenities for infants and young children.

Cruises from Brooklyn are easy to get to from Manhattan and from all over the region. And the borough has more attractions for cruise passengers than you might think. From Coney Island to the Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn has plenty to explore before or after your voyage. The restaurants of Brooklyn Heights, art in DUMBO, the Brooklyn Museum in the Slope, and the nightlife of Williamsburg are all part of the new Brooklyn charm. Restrooms are available before the entrance to the cruise terminal, before and after security screening, before check-in and in the boarding lounge. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and Newark International Airport (EWR) are the closest airports to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.

These Princess Cruises have three show lounges that present a changing array of entertainment choices, including Broadway, Las Vegas and cabaret-style productions. Dance the night away at the nightclub at the very top of the ship and accessible only by a glass-enclosed skywalk. This dramatic space becomes an observation lounge during the day. The Caribbean Princess is one of their ships sailing from Brooklyn.

The Manhattan passenger terminal is on Hudson River (on Manhattan Island's shoreline), located is between West 44 and West 52 streets. Both Newark International Airport and LaGuardia Airport are located approx 15 mi (24 km) away, while JFK International Airport is approx 20 mi (32 km) away. In May 2013, Port NYC started a project to raise Bayonne Bridge in order to allow access to the world's largest container ships to the cargo ports of New York City and New Jersey (Elizabeth and Newark). The project also included dredging (deepening) the navigation channel. Red Hook may not be the most central location in Brooklyn, but you still have plenty of options for getting around.

Regent Seven Seas cruises are known for all-inclusive luxury. While this can offset costs drastically, especially for those who already have bus passes, this option may not be ideal for large families, or those with physical limitations, as there is some walking involved. Take the whole family on a Princess Cruise from Brooklyn, New York.

Be sure to keep both your parking and cruise tickets with you as you need them to access the lot. Read on for our breakdown of the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, including address information, directions, services, and more. In October 2014, RCCL-Royal Caribbean and NYC Port Authority dedicated a Cape Liberty cruise terminal for the RCI's ship Quantum OTS. A US$650,000 federal grant was given to the city for the building of a new ferry terminal. The facility is on the southern part of the Military Ocean Terminal, on an artificial peninsula east of NJ Route 440. ExpressRail network supports intermodal freight transport interconnecting all major terminals.

The Caribbean cruises depart in the fall and winter, and include a holidays cruise. Ride the bus for 13 stops (about 18 minutes) and get off at the Van Brunt/Verona St. stop. If you’re using public transportation, most major hubs will require both a subway and bus ride.

New Small-Ship Cruise Itineraries & Charters Offer Extraordinary Exploration Opportunities in Alaska.

With sustainability front and center, expeditions are focused on local culture, regional cuisine and nature. The larger ships in the line feature built-in docks for kayaks and stand up paddleboards, while the smaller yacht-style ships include drinks and a spa treatment in the fare. Fortunately for adventurous travelers several cruise lines offer small ship Alaska cruises -- and they’re expanding their fleets, itineraries and excursion offerings.

Best for off-the-beaten-path travel: National Geographic Quest

I have traveled between all continents by sea and cruised along three dozen rivers. My journeys have translated into many books and many hundreds of articles. You’ll spend all your time immersed in Alaska, both aboard ship and ashore, and that, to my way of thinking, is what an Alaska cruise vacation should be all about. Although the phrase has been used so often it’s become a cliche, taking a small-ship cruise really is the best way to discover “the real Alaska,” close-up and personal.

Lady of the Sea Adventures

When cruise lines send a fleet of ships to Alaska for the summer, the older, smaller ships tend to offer more reduced prices than you'll find on the lines' larger and newer ships. Since 1986, Maple Leaf has been operating sailing cruises in British Columbia, Haida Gwaii (the former Queen Charlotte Islands) and the Inside Passage. On Maple Leaf's fleet of three vessels, expect an even more intimate experience than on a regular small ship, and a program that is full of First Nations history. If you like planned activities and want a larger choice of tours, the small-ship experience is not for you. But for me, the ability to wander the streets of the less tourist-oriented towns was better than any group tour.

Offer valid on new bookings, subject to availability and cannot be combined with any other offer. See all Alaska small ship cruise deals for a comprehensive list of current savings on this and other adventures. An AdventureSmith Specialist is 1 of only 8 passengers on this Katmai bear viewing cruise in Alaska. See his incredible grizzly bear photography and read stories of the bears in this detailed trip review. Small ship Alaska cruises make the most of the summer months when passengers can enjoy warmer temperatures, long days with late sunsets and accessible wildlife. Throughout the summer, weather is variable ranging from warm sunny days in the 70s or 80s to chilly rainy days in the 50s and 60s.

Contacting small ship Alaska cruise lines directly does not always answer critical questions about how much activity there is, what the cabins are like compared to other ships and so on. Many offer honest advice, but many need to be taken with a grain of salt. Use online reviews as a tool, but don’t rush to judgment when you read a poor review. Often this is a result of a mismatch between the style of the traveler and the type of cruise they were on.

Although the cabins were small, we had what we needed and the public spaces were sized to handle the passengers comfortably, and there were so many activities we didn't spend much time in our rooms. The ship cruised smoothly in the inland passages, and even an overnight relocation cruise didn't interrupt sleep. The launch/retrieve platform is an awesome modification, and probably what makes launching kayaks in a short time possible. We greatly appreciated being able to rent the slogging boots on the boat.

Lindblad employs a talented expedition staff, with one naturalist (including a photo expert) for every 10 guests.

The family can come together for meals in a variety of casual and fine dining restaurants, and enjoy original production shows as the ship sails between ports. The line always stations one or two Quantum-class ships in Alaska for the season. Adults can linger in the glass-walled Solarium, relaxing in the indoor pools and whirlpools, while their kids zoom around the SeaPlex in bumper cars. Swell, a unique 88-foot converted tugboat built in 1912, carries up to 12 guests in six private en-suite cabins. The classic wooden construction of the vessel has been maintained, and cabins are paneled with wood.

With some luck, you’ll see brightly-colored puffins, mountain goats, eagles, bears, and sea lions, all with a stunning backdrop and the amazing sounds of nature. We build, flag, and crew our ships right here in the United States. Our pride in the All-American experience we provide is the backdrop and an ode to the incredible, breathtaking landscapes that this country has to offer.

If you are planning to venture into Canada for excursions, perhaps when you are in Skagway, you will need your passport, otherwise you will not require a passport for itineraries that stay within the US. A small ship vacation always takes you into the most remote Alaskan locations. It's impossible for the big ships to get you this close. There are no "early" and "late" seating and set dinner arrangements and tables like you have on the big ships. By Heidi Sarna I had a chat with travel advisor Kevin Flink about travel insurance.

Note that the ship is departing the cruise line after its Alaska season, so this is your last chance to sail on the elegant cruise ship. Experts onboard these sailings include naturalists, biologists and other scientists who are members of the expedition team. They lead the outdoor activities and provide passengers with a deeper insight into Alaska.

If your idea of vacation is to sample as many restaurants as possible, small cruise ships aren't for you. Uncruise emphasizes the natural areas of Alaska on their excursions. The bushwacking, kayaking and skiffs allow you to experience the natural beauty of Alaska close-up. Alaska is a delight for bird watchers, boasting 521 species of birds including the largest population of bald eagles.
